Dear Friends:I’m excited to announce today’s release
of my latest historical novel,
published by Black Rose Writing.
SISTERS OF CASTLE LEOD: A NOVEL
by Elizabeth Hutchison Bernard
Millions are fans of the popular Outlander books and television series, but few know that author Diana Gabaldon’s fictional Castle Leoch was inspired by a real Scottish castle, Castle Leod. The two sisters who lived there at the turn of the twentieth century were among the most fascinating and talked-about women of their era. This is their story…
The real-life sisters of Castle Leod: (left) Lady Cromartie (Sibell Lilian Mackenzie, 3rd Countess of Cromartie) and her sister, Lady Constance Mackenzie.
“Heartbreaking and redemptive, inspired by a true story of two very different, equally passionate sisters who were both destined to forge new paths for women in a tumultuous time. Bernard’s tale is richly imagined and thoroughly engrossing…”
Megan Chance, bestselling author of A Splendid Ruin

“Once again, Elizabeth Hutchison Bernard has penned a portrait of a time and place in history, mixing fictional and historical characters to good effect and creating a treat for both the history buff and the historical fiction reader. Highly recommended.”

5 Stars from Readers’ Favorite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Whilst the historical element of this novel can easily be compared to some of the great historical novelists,…the ghostly apparitions and contact with the spirit world add an original view … in this classic.”
